线程的最大特点是资源的共享性,但资源共享中的同步问题是多线程编程的难点。linux下提供了多种方式来处理线程同步,最常用的是互斥锁、条件变量和信号量。
一、互斥锁(mutex)
通过锁机制实现线程间的同步。
- 初始化锁。在Linux下,线程的互斥量数据类型是pthread_mutex_t。在使用前,要对它进行初始化。
静态分配:pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
动态分配:int pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *mutex, const pthread_mutex_attr_t *mutexattr);
- 加锁。对共享资源的访问,要对互斥量进行加锁,如果互斥量已经上了锁,调用线程会阻塞,直到互斥量被解锁。
int pthread_mutex_lock(pthread_mutex *mutex);
int pthread_mutex_trylock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
- 解锁。在完成了对共享资源的访问后,要对互斥量进行解锁。
int pthread_mutex_unlock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
- 销毁锁。锁在是使用完成后,需要进行销毁以释放资源。
int pthread_mutex_destroy(pthread_mutex *mutex);
- #include <cstdio>
- #include <cstdlib>
- #include <unistd.h>
- #include <pthread.h>
- #include "iostream"
- using namespace std;
- pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
- int tmp;
- void* thread(void *arg)
- {
- cout << "thread id is " << pthread_self() << endl;
- pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
- tmp = 12;
- cout << "Now a is " << tmp << endl;
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- return NULL;
- }
- int main()
- {
- pthread_t id;
- cout << "main thread id is " << pthread_self() << endl;
- tmp = 3;
- cout << "In main func tmp = " << tmp << endl;
- if (!pthread_create(&id, NULL, thread, NULL))
- {
- cout << "Create thread success!" << endl;
- }
- else
- {
- cout << "Create thread failed!" << endl;
- }
- pthread_join(id, NULL);
- pthread_mutex_destroy(&mutex);
- return 0;
- }
- //编译:g++ -o thread testthread.cpp -lpthread
二、条件变量(cond)
互斥锁不同,条件变量是用来等待而不是用来上锁的。条件变量用来自动阻塞一个线程,直到某特殊情况发生为止。通常条件变量和互斥锁同时使用。条件变量分为两部分: 条件和变量。条件本身是由互斥量保护的。线程在改变条件状态前先要锁住互斥量。条件变量使我们可以睡眠等待某种条件出现。条件变量是利用线程间共享的全局变量进行同步的一种机制,主要包括两个动作:一个线程等待"条件变量的条件成立"而挂起;另一个线程使"条件成立"(给出条件成立信号)。条件的检测是在互斥锁的保护下进行的。如果一个条件为假,一个线程自动阻塞,并释放等待状态改变的互斥锁。如果另一个线程改变了条件,它发信号给关联的条件变量,唤醒一个或多个等待它的线程,重新获得互斥锁,重新评价条件。如果两进程共享可读写的内存,条件变量可以被用来实现这两进程间的线程同步。
- 初始化条件变量。
静态态初始化,pthread_cond_t cond = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIER;
动态初始化,int pthread_cond_init(pthread_cond_t *cond, pthread_condattr_t *cond_attr);
- 等待条件成立。释放锁,同时阻塞等待条件变量为真才行。timewait()设置等待时间,仍未signal,返回ETIMEOUT(加锁保证只有一个线程wait)
int pthread_cond_wait(pthread_cond_t *cond, pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
int pthread_cond_timewait(pthread_cond_t *cond,pthread_mutex *mutex,const timespec *abstime);
- 激活条件变量。pthread_cond_signal,pthread_cond_broadcast(激活所有等待线程)
int pthread_cond_signal(pthread_cond_t *cond);
int pthread_cond_broadcast(pthread_cond_t *cond); //解除所有线程的阻塞
- 清除条件变量。无线程等待,否则返回EBUSY
int pthread_cond_destroy(pthread_cond_t *cond);
- #include <stdio.h>
- #include <pthread.h>
- #include "stdlib.h"
- #include "unistd.h"
- pthread_mutex_t mutex;
- pthread_cond_t cond;
- void hander(void *arg)
- {
- free(arg);
- (void)pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- }
- void *thread1(void *arg)
- {
- pthread_cleanup_push(hander, &mutex);
- while(1)
- {
- printf("thread1 is running\n");
- pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
- pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex);
- printf("thread1 applied the condition\n");
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- sleep(4);
- }
- pthread_cleanup_pop(0);
- }
- void *thread2(void *arg)
- {
- while(1)
- {
- printf("thread2 is running\n");
- pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
- pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex);
- printf("thread2 applied the condition\n");
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- sleep(1);
- }
- }
- int main()
- {
- pthread_t thid1,thid2;
- printf("condition variable study!\n");
- pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, NULL);
- pthread_cond_init(&cond, NULL);
- pthread_create(&thid1, NULL, thread1, NULL);
- pthread_create(&thid2, NULL, thread2, NULL);
- sleep(1);
- do
- {
- pthread_cond_signal(&cond);
- }while(1);
- sleep(20);
- pthread_exit(0);
- return 0;
- }
- #include <pthread.h>
- #include <unistd.h>
- #include "stdio.h"
- #include "stdlib.h"
- static pthread_mutex_t mtx = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
- static pthread_cond_t cond = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER;
- struct node
- {
- int n_number;
- struct node *n_next;
- }*head = NULL;
- static void cleanup_handler(void *arg)
- {
- printf("Cleanup handler of second thread./n");
- free(arg);
- (void)pthread_mutex_unlock(&mtx);
- }
- static void *thread_func(void *arg)
- {
- struct node *p = NULL;
- pthread_cleanup_push(cleanup_handler, p);
- while (1)
- {
- //这个mutex主要是用来保证pthread_cond_wait的并发性
- pthread_mutex_lock(&mtx);
- while (head == NULL)
- {
- //这个while要特别说明一下,单个pthread_cond_wait功能很完善,为何
- //这里要有一个while (head == NULL)呢?因为pthread_cond_wait里的线
- //程可能会被意外唤醒,如果这个时候head != NULL,则不是我们想要的情况。
- //这个时候,应该让线程继续进入pthread_cond_wait
- // pthread_cond_wait会先解除之前的pthread_mutex_lock锁定的mtx,
- //然后阻塞在等待对列里休眠,直到再次被唤醒(大多数情况下是等待的条件成立
- //而被唤醒,唤醒后,该进程会先锁定先pthread_mutex_lock(&mtx);,再读取资源
- //用这个流程是比较清楚的
- pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &mtx);
- p = head;
- head = head->n_next;
- printf("Got %d from front of queue/n", p->n_number);
- free(p);
- }
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mtx); //临界区数据操作完毕,释放互斥锁
- }
- pthread_cleanup_pop(0);
- return 0;
- }
- int main(void)
- {
- pthread_t tid;
- int i;
- struct node *p;
- //子线程会一直等待资源,类似生产者和消费者,但是这里的消费者可以是多个消费者,而
- //不仅仅支持普通的单个消费者,这个模型虽然简单,但是很强大
- pthread_create(&tid, NULL, thread_func, NULL);
- sleep(1);
- for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
- {
- p = (struct node*)malloc(sizeof(struct node));
- p->n_number = i;
- pthread_mutex_lock(&mtx); //需要操作head这个临界资源,先加锁,
- p->n_next = head;
- head = p;
- pthread_cond_signal(&cond);
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mtx); //解锁
- sleep(1);
- }
- printf("thread 1 wanna end the line.So cancel thread 2./n");
- //关于pthread_cancel,有一点额外的说明,它是从外部终止子线程,子线程会在最近的取消点,退出
- //线程,而在我们的代码里,最近的取消点肯定就是pthread_cond_wait()了。
- pthread_cancel(tid);
- pthread_join(tid, NULL);
- printf("All done -- exiting/n");
- return 0;
- }
三、信号量(sem)
如同进程一样,线程也可以通过信号量来实现通信,虽然是轻量级的。信号量函数的名字都以"sem_"打头。线程使用的基本信号量函数有四个。
- 信号量初始化。
int sem_init (sem_t *sem , int pshared, unsigned int value);
这是对由sem指定的信号量进行初始化,设置好它的共享选项(linux 只支持为0,即表示它是当前进程的局部信号量),然后给它一个初始值VALUE。
- 等待信号量。给信号量减1,然后等待直到信号量的值大于0。
int sem_wait(sem_t *sem);
- 释放信号量。信号量值加1。并通知其他等待线程。
int sem_post(sem_t *sem);
- 销毁信号量。我们用完信号量后都它进行清理。归还占有的一切资源。
int sem_destroy(sem_t *sem);

- #include <stdio.h>
